Behind the activity of thinking, and the ever-changing flow of sounds, sensations and feelings, there is a great and awake silence that holds all that unfolds. This space of awareness is our formless essence, and learning to open and rest into this alert, knowing vastness has the blessings of homecoming.
Well, well, the monthly ABS data on inflation came in with a rate that accelerated faster than expected in July, moving closer to the top of the Reserve Bank's 2-3% target, jumping to 2.8% — the highest annual rate since July 2024 — and well above June's 1.9%. A caveat as always, these monthly indicators … Continue reading "Inflation Not Dead, Just Resting… At Best…"
So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
In this final meditation of the Fully Known, Fully Loved series, we return to the very heart of the gospel: God’s love. Through the familiar but powerful words of John 3:16–18—read from The Message—we’re reminded that God didn’t send Jesus to accuse or condemn, but to rescue. To restore. To love. Whether you’ve known Jesus for decades or are still exploring what faith means, this meditation invites you to slow down and let the truth of God’s extravagant love settle deeply into your soul. In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:• Reflect on how you first came to know Jesus• Thank God for the people who led you to Him• Lift up someone you’re praying for who doesn’t yet know Christ• Rest in the truth that you are fully known and still fully loved Let the words of this passage remind you:God loves you deeply, completely, and eternally.

And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

In John 15, Jesus uses the analogy of a vineyard to describe the life of a disciple. Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches. Like branches grafted into a grapevine, so it is with our relationship with Christ: the stronger the connection, the more the fruit, and the greater the joy. Put another way: Fruitfulness is the result of abiding, and that leads to joy. To abide is to remain intimately connected to Jesus at the soul level. The stronger that connection, the greater the fruit in our lives. Kingdom fruit: the kind that comes from allowing God to work through you, making a difference in the lives of those around you. Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. Looking more and more like Jesus. In this series, I want to talk about abiding. How do we build a strong connection to the Lord?We're going to start with a practice that may seem strange, and that's rest. I don't know much about growing grapes, but one thing I've learned is that in order to have an abundant harvest, there has to be a season of rest—of dormancy. So it is in the life of a disciple. You were created to not only work, but to rest. And if you only attend to the former and not the latter, you simply can't keep producing fruit, and you'll end up losing your joy.Thus, at the very beginning, God showed the… Daily Rhythm of RestIn the creation narrative, we see that every day there was “day and night.” A time to work and a time to rest. This daily rhythm was part of the “very good” before sin ever entered the world. Sleep loss can have a profound impact on otherwise healthy individuals…and on our discipleship. How are you doing with your daily rhythm of rest?God also established a…Weekly Rhythm of RestGod was so concerned that our penchant for work might get out of hand and would cost us dearly, that from creation, He set in motion a rhythm whereby a fruitful life might be sustained – a weekly rhythm between work and rest. Then to make sure we didn't miss the point, He both modeled it (Gen. 2:1-3) and mandated it (Ex. 20:8-11). The Bible calls it Sabbath, a one-day-in-seven cease work order.Finally, there is a…Seasonal Rhythm of RestThere are seasons in life that require an intensive outpouring of effort. Times when work demands a lot from you. It's wise to plan for a more extended time of rest during or after that season to refuel and renew for another season of fruiting…and greater joy. Text: John 15:1-11 Originally recorded on July 16, 2017, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN
We live in a world in which some people do evil to others and yet go unpunished. Faced with this reality, we may doubt that God is just. In Psalm 94, the psalmist reassures us that He is and shows us how to live in light of this truth.

You'll never get over your trauma with talking unless you also heal the nervous system and get more connected to self, community and earth. Plants and embodiment can help you feel safe in your body again.In this episode of Sacred Herbalism, Stephanie Hazel sits down with Daisy K. Devine to unravel the intimate ties between trauma, the nervous system, and herbal medicine. They reveal how trauma is stored and released through the body, why the gut—our “second brain”—is vital to healing, and how deep community connection fuels recovery. With insights from Taoist philosophy and decades of herbal wisdom, Daisy highlights the healing power of passionflower and reishi, inviting listeners to see nature as a sanctuary for emotional restoration.Key Takeaways:Trauma releases only through the body, not just the mind.Healing thrives on loving presence and community.Nervous and digestive systems work together in trauma recovery.Herbs like passionflower and reishi help regulate the nervous system and support the gut.Nature offers safety and a path to emotional integration.*LINKS AND MENTIONS*Find Daisy's website hereFollow her on Instagram here.The episode I mentioned with Tatiana Dawn is here.Join the waitlist for Resting into the Earth retreat (The above link will open a pop up to email me.

When we come to a deep state of rest in the body we can clearly experience the arising and passing of sensations. When we come to a deep state of rest in the mind and heart, we can clearly experience the impermanent nature of our thoughts and emotions.Meditation can be challenging at times.

If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.orgI have been practicing meditation for 39 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books.

She discusses how societal stigma and expectations can lead to negative self-perceptions and feelings of inadequacy. Patricia shares personal experiences and insights on how internalized ableism manifests in various aspects of life, including relationships, self-acceptance, and the pressure to conform to neurotypical standards. She emphasizes the importance of unlearning these hurtful beliefs and embracing one's neurodivergent identity with compassion and understanding. HIGHLIGHTS · Internalized ableism is the unconscious adoption of negative beliefs about oneself due to societal stigma. · Neurodivergent individuals often feel pressure to conform to neurotypical standards, which can lead to trauma. · Resting is a valid need and should not be seen as a failure. · Asking for accommodations is essential for well-being and should not induce guilt. · The concept of 'high functioning' can be harmful and does not reflect true capabilities. · Time agnosia is a common experience for neurodivergent individuals. · Self-compassion is crucial in overcoming internalized ableism. · Relationships can be affected by the fear of being a burden. · Unlearning internalized ableism involves recognizing and challenging societal expectations. · Embracing neurodivergence includes acknowledging strengths and practicing self-acceptance. 115 SPECIFIC POINTS DISCUSSED 1. How internalized ableism shows up in everyday life o Masking, pushing through burnout, or feeling "lazy" when you're resting. 2. Messages we absorbed growing up o From school, parents, peers, or media about being "too much," "distracted," "weird," or "wrong." 3. Perfectionism and people-pleasing as survival o How needing to be “better” or “easy to manage” is often rooted in internalized shame. 4. The trap of “not disabled enough” or “faking it” o How we invalidate our own struggles because we don't “look” stereotypically disabled. 5. ADHD, autism, OCD & “high-functioning” narratives o The myth of being “high functioning” and how it reinforces ableist expectations. 6. Feeling guilt for needing accommodations or rest o That voice that says “you're being difficult” when you ask for what you actually need. 7. Shame around executive dysfunction o Struggling to start tasks, follow through, or manage time — and blaming yourself. 8. Rejecting your own needs to fit in o Forcing eye contact, avoiding stimming, hiding rituals, not using noise-canceling headphones in public, etc. 9. The pressure to be “independent” all the time o How internalized capitalism + ableism equates needing support with being a failure. 10. Comparing yourself to neurotypical peers · Especially in productivity, relationships, or emotional regulation. 11. “If I can do it sometimes, I should always be able to” myth · Inconsistent ability = inconsistent worth? Nope. Talk about spoon theory and fluctuating capacity. 12. How OCD-specific traits are misunderstood or mocked · And how that seeps into how you see yourself (e.g., feeling “crazy,” “irrational,” or “a burden”). 13. Internalized ableism in dating & relationships · Fear of being too much, too emotional, or too rigid — and minimizing yourself as a result. 14. How healing looks like reclaiming your needs unapologetically · Self-accommodation, boundaries, rest, and neurodivergent joy as rebellion. 15. Relearning self-compassion and identity pride · Ending with hope: unmasking, connecting with community, and defining success on your own terms. SOUND BITES · "Rest is resistance." · "You are not broken." · "You deserve rest, joy, and support." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you LINKS Rest Is Resistance: Free yourself from grind culture and reclaim your life by Tricia Hersey.

God never meant for us to live maxed out and burnt out. When we build margin into our lives, we make room for rest, generosity, peace, and deeper connection with God and others.

Here I offer a guided meditation designed to allow us to cultivate a deep state of bodily rest. From that deep rest we observe the activity of the mind, so that we might find a space of rest from the overactive thinking. Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.orgI have been practicing meditation for 39 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, Neuroplasticity, Non-Violent Communication, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.If you find these podcasts helpful please consider making a donation: PayPal.me/suchsweetthunderMay All Benefit

Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. ²Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. ³Hold onto nothing. ⁴Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. ⁵Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.

It's been one year since Steven Arroyo's passing, but his mark on Los Angeles and our food scene continue to be felt with the institutions he created, Escuela and Cobra & Matadors, still feeding Angelenos in beautiful ways. From 2021, Jordan and Steven talk the greatness and origins of the food and the man behind it all.
Ashley's "before" was as extreme as her "after" is glorious. God knows how to make sure that we give Him the glory. She's obviously blessed by a turnaround that only He could have orchestrated. Yet, she didn't trust me at first. She did NOT go all in...If you're dealing with autism symptoms in ways that do not line up with the research & effort you're already putting in, Ashley knows how heavy that burden feels, especially when you're knee-deep into recovery and already have seen SOME results.I have recordings of her crying while her son is throwing tantrums in the background (she described it as "living with an alien"). Her darkest moment was when he gave her a black eye on their vacation. Her summer is now like most other moms'. Resting. Watching her children play. Enjoying time with her husband and time on her own. Tantrums, eloping, screaming, picky eating, and aggression - not in her house! Her sons are now bonding and playing in the garden. Ashley doesn't need me anymore. She "graduated from" the turnaround process in 2023. She is now LIVING the turnaround lifestyle. On the other side of the turnaround program. She's enjoying the fruit of the work she's completed.Can you guess how long it took her to get there?Do you know what she did (which prolonged the turnaround process and made it longer than it had to be)?Do you know if you're unknowingly doing the same? And how to speed up the turnaround process instead?In this podcast interview with Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson:Ashley will tell you all the secrets about what blocked and facilitated her recovery process (some of them you're secretly doing too). The interview is a preparation class for moms who want to join her live meeting in August. Her reason for helping other autism moms? "I could walk away with my results and enjoy my life without autism now," - but if my story can bring hope and healing to another mom, that's what I want to bring. I delayed the turnaround by the things that I did and the things that I THOUGHT before fully surrendering to the process." Enjoy this episode.Here are 3 ways we can start turning autism symptoms around together, whenever you're ready... 1. Send me a voice message and get my feedback on your most pressing struggles. 2. Check out the free video series "The 5 hidden messages behind autism symptoms" and find your child's unique triggers. 3. Work with me privatelyIf you'd like to work with me directly to turn as many symptoms around as possible in my Autism Turnaround Coaching and implementation group..send me an email with "coaching" in the subject line and tell me how old your child is. I'll get you all the details.

This meditation scans through the body – arriving in the foreground with sounds, feelings and sensations, like the surface waves of the sea coming and going. And in the background, experiencing an alert inner stillness – a vast presence from which all activity pours forth.
